I guess this is a very personal question and the factors that are important
to one person might not matter to someone else.

Probably the best reason I can think of to go ahead and buy one now is very
simple.  If you don't really like it - you can probably sell it for near whay
you paid for it on the open market.  

My experience with S/N 0000013 tells me this radio is going to be very hard
to get you hands on for some time.  Once more of these hit the streets and
people start to hear what I hear when I put on the headphones - they are
going to want one NOW!!

So - I wouldn't hesitate to order one - then make up your mind.  I would
almost bet you that the K2 will become your camping radio and the K3 will
take up the center space in your operating table to stay.

And as someone else said - six meters.  It's a fun band in the summer and
in 5 years when the spots return.
